SUSPENSION ATTACHMENT FOR SOAP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 508,809, dated November 14, 1893.

Application filed February 13, l 893- Serial No. (No 11105913 To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. BREUL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Suspension Attachments for Soap; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form' a part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improved attachment adapted to be applied to a cake of soap, whereby the latter may be suspended by means of a chain or bracket in proximity to a wash bowl or sink.

\ Heretofore attempts have been made to provide an attachment, such as above described, but they have proved more or less inefficient owing to the inherent defects, and have not therefore gone into general public use.

The object of myinvention is to provide an improved device which can be pushed through a cake of soap from end to end, and securely held therein with a projecting loop, with which a chain or bracket may be connected.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cake of soap provided with my improved attachment. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the cake of soap detached from the bracket. Fig. 3 is a view of the attachment removed from the cake. Fig.

4 is a detail sectional View of the disk shaped outwardly at right angles forming lugs 2,'pro-.

serted through the apertures 3, and are then bent downwardly so as to hold the bracket in place. Engaging with the loop 6 1s a double link 7, which is also adapted to engage with a loop in the attachment hereinafter described.

The attachment 9, for .the soap cake consists of a wire rod bent over upon itself at the center, forming two arms 8, 8, the ends of which are secured to a disk shaped metal or other plate 10, having apertures 13, and a depression 14, in its outer face.

The manner of using the invention is as follows: The plate 10, and the arms 5, 5, are connected together by passing the ends of the latter through the apertures in the plate and bending or clinching the same, and the device is then pushed through a cake of soap, which can readily be done when the latter is fresh, until it projects through the opposite end. I

The attachment is of such length, that when applied to the cake as before stated, and the ends of the arms passed through the apertures in said plate, the doubled or bent ever end will project a short distance beyond the opposite end of the cake,iforming a looplo, with which the link 7 engages.

From the above it will be seen that it is not necessary to form a hole in the cake previous to applying the attachment, thus eifecting a saving in time and labor in securing the device to the cake.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1.An attachment for a cake of soap, comprising a metal rod bent over upon itself at the center, and a disk-shaped plate having a depression in its outer face and apertures through which the ends of said rods pass, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. As an improved article, a cake of soap having an attachment passing therethrough, In testimony that I claim the foregoing as consistingof a Wire rod bent over upon itself, inyown I have hereunto affixed my signature forming a loop projecting beyond one end of in presence of two witnesses.

the cake, and a plate at the other end having I CHARLES A. BREUL. appertures through which the ends of said Witnesses: rod pass, and said ends bent over or clinched, CLEMENS KLOEFKORN,

substantially as described. OEOILIA BRUEL.
